Jeff Johnson has more than a decade of experience handling significant litigation at the trial and appellate levels. While that litigation has crossed many subjects — from pharmaceutical preemption to municipal bankruptcy to constitutional law — he has most recently focused on consumer-related litigation under statutes such as the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), and state unfair and deceptive trade practices laws. In this capacity, he has served as lead appellate counsel in a number of matters for a major credit reporting agency and as a principal strategist for a major broadcasting company's consumer-facing litigation. He also has considerable experience with public nuisance litigation, Controlled Substance Act (CSA) litigation, and mass arbitration, among other topics.
As part of this wide-ranging work, Jeff has argued roughly a dozen cases in the federal circuit courts, with other arguments in state and federal trial courts across the country as well. He also has been a key part of teams overseeing litigation that spans multiple forums and levels of the judicial process.
